Shower build in self built campervan part 1 for ducato / relay / boxer / promaster.

In this video I start my shower build, the part of the build I was least looking forward too to be honest. plenty of cock ups along of way of course but the end result when we reach the final part is good. filmed over several months during the summer and autumn of 2021, enjoy part one where we make a start with the plinth and water connections.

Hi, good job and I’m enjoying watching the build. I thought you may be interested to know that the mixer tap you have used is designed to be used with a bidet. Hence the name Douche (rinsing of body cavity) keep up the good work.

:-) , yeah I knew that but it is light and small and essentially does the same thing so its all good. cavities do need a good wash now and then aswell......

Great video, where did you get the pressure tester from?

[@wiltshirecustomcamper7203]

it is a standard domestic plumbing accessories and was from either screwfix or toolstation, cant remember which now but is nothing unusual or rare. hope that helps.

What are you using for the bed frame?

[@wiltshirecustomcamper7203]

ikea skorva bed beams.

Hi, I’ve just bought a New Relay L4H3 and intend to put two standard single beds in as bunks, as you are. I assume that as you are doing it that way then there is enough height for two adults to sleep comfortably. Your comments would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks PS what heights are your Skorva brackets set ?

[@wiltshirecustomcamper7203]

we have 2 adults and 2 kids so will be 2x double beds in the back, the Ikea skorva brackets are fixed with rivnuts to the side beams, with the bottom one as low as we could get it with maintaining a good fixing.

@@wiltshirecustomcamper7203 Thanks for that, I’ve worked out that the lower bed by going into the recess’s will be around 6ft 4inches. My two sons are 6 ft 3 ins . Only one at a time 😊. The beds will be 3’ x 6’ 3”. I watched your “ electrical installation “ video …thank you. Did you have to adjust the height of that arrangement once the bed height was set ? I hope you don’t mind but I intend to follow your path through the build. First one I have done. Sorry, I may be contacting you again. Regards Gary H.

@@garyharrison1322 My first on as well so happy to share knowledge and info. good luck with the build. I knew the height of the lower bed and made sure the electrical board would fit underneath which is why its a bit 'compact' and 'busy'!

[@garyharrison1322]

@@wiltshirecustomcamper7203 your “ busy” is good 👍. Mine will also have to be busy. Did you buy the electrical “ pack “ all from the same place ?

@@garyharrison1322 Renogy items came direct from Renogy, the Victron items came from various sources, whoever was cheapest / had stock at the time. the 230v consumer unit was screwfix. hope that help. the renogy website and much of their kit is very good, much cheaper than Victron and in my opinion just as good.😀

Hi, could I ask where you got your shower tray (and model number, if possible)? Thanks

Hi, although a year ago, I cannot understand you went for these Solway (crap) you’ve shown what I have seen perfectly capable diy plus. Nothing really fits well of these panels and honestly I think they sell a crap product and again confirmed by looking at your application. Terrible sorry to say
